Hearing Location(s): Department of Health, Town Center 2, 111 Israel Road S.E., Room 158, Tumwater, WA 98504, on August 27, 2012, at 1:30 p.m.
Date of Intended Adoption: August 27, 2012.
Submit Written Comments to: Andy Fernando, P.O. Box 47860, Olympia, WA 98504-7860, e-mail http://www3.doh.wa.gov/policyreview/, fax (360) 236-4626, by August 27, 2012.
Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Andy Fernando by August 14, 2012, TTY (800) 833-6388 or 711.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The proposed rules will reduce the licensing surcharge collected from specific licensees to support the HEAL-WA web portal provided by the University of Washington (UW). These professions are outlined in RCW 43.70.110. Reducing the surcharge will align the revenue collected with the department's spending authority to transfer fees collected to the UW. The proposed fee reduction does not impact East Asian medicine practitioners. The proposed rules also make general housekeeping edits.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: RCW 43.70.110 requires that the department collect a surcharge with the licensee fees and transfer the funds collected to the UW. The revenue the department collects exceeds the current appropriation authority because of an increase in the number of licensees for the professions required to pay the surcharge. Reducing the HEAL-WA fee will align the revenue collected with the appropriation authority.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 43.70.110, 43.70.250.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 43.70.110.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: Department of health, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Dianna Staley, 111 Israel Road S.E., Tumwater, WA 98504, (360) 236-4997; Implementation and Enforcement: Joy King, 111 Israel Road S.E., Tumwater, WA 98504, (360) 236-4936.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. Under RCW 19.85.025 and 34.05.310 (4)(f), a small business economic impact statement is not required for proposed rules that set or adjust fees or rates pursuant to legislative standards.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. The agency did not complete a cost-benefit analysis under RCW 34.05.328. RCW 34.05.328 (5)(b)(vi) exempts rules that set or adjust fees or rates pursuant to legislative standards.
